Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 2, 1919. Serial No. 314,891.

To all en 710m it may concern Be. it known that l, Antoni Ninnzinna, a citizen of Poland, residing at Manchester, county ot llillsborough, and State of New Hampshire, have invented certaip new and usel'ul Improvements in urtaurlf.mtures, ot which the following` is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in curtain fixtures and has as its special object the provision et bracket hangers or flrrtures capable ot being applied to any ordinary type of window, irrespective oit .their difien ing widths, the fixtures being tightly clamped in engagement with the window lirame or removed therefrom in a convenient and practical manner.

A lfurther object is to provide dences com Lined with the fimure for supporting sl ailes or draperies so that separate fixtures ter the same are not required.

rllhese and other like objects are attained by the novel construction and combination ot parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, 'lormmg u material part ot this disclosure, and 1n which- Figure l is a perspective view showing an upper portion ol a window frame and indicating the application ot the invention, and

Fig. 2 is a 'fragmentary vertical sectional view taken substantially through the center ot the same.

.eterring to the drawings in detail, the numeral l0 indicates the side element et a conventional type of window frame with which is connected the mitered upper element l1.

Blanks of sheet metal are cut to form strips l-l, bent at right angles 'forming ends l5, similar bent angles 1G being turned rearwardly trom the vertical elements'l? termed integrally with the horizontal strips le, the bent ends l5 being adapted to be disposed upon opposite sides of the window trame, while the bent elements 16 overlie the trame part ll, resting thereon so as to support a portion of' the weight taken by the brackets. 'Y The inwardly extending ends ofi' the horizontal strips 14: are engaged by relatively small rectangular plates 18, secured by rivets or serewslt), which pass through space blocks 20, termed with raised detents 2l, engageable with any ot' the detents or ratchet teeth 22, formed upon the lower side of bars 23, suited to be received in the space between the plates 18, and strips l-l.

These bars have screw-threaded stems 24;, respectively right and left, and engageable in a. turn-buckle 25, by which the bars 223 may be forcibly drawn toward each other, and it will be apparent that it the detente 22 are engaged with the projections 2l that the bracket elements heretofore described are drawn tightly against the outer side of the window trame.

Formed integrally with the vertical strips l? are forwardly extending arms 26, having spurredpoints 2T, adapted to enter any ot' a plurality ot spaced openingsl 28, in the drapery pole 29, by which it is supported and held in longitudinal adjustment, the. pole being furnished with ornamental balls 30 at its end1 and adapted to carry draperies ot' the usual kind, as indicated by the broken line 3l.

A shade roller 32 et the usual type is provided with extending pintles 33, the same` entering suitable openings tormed in the angular elements 34C of brackets, the feet 35 of which are slotted and held by screws C36 tethe vertical elements l?, thereby providing an additional source of adjustment taking care of relatively long or short shade rollers7 while obviously the fixtures may be secured `on any window commensuate with the spacing oi' the teeth formed on the bars 33 and the threaded stems engaged therewith.

F rom 'the 'foregoing it will. be appare-nt that the fixtures may be clamped firmly upon the window traine by rotating the turnbuckle 25 or released therefrom by rotating it in the opposite direction, freeing the brackets without diliiculty 'from engagement with the window trame.

Having thus described my invention what l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a curtain fixture, the combination with a pair of metallic plates having horizontal and vertical elements, bent projections formed at right angles with the outer ends et said vertical elements and said horizontal elements, of plates spacedly supported at the front of said horizontal elements near the inner ends thereot', detents engaged between said plates and said strips, bars having ratchet teeth engageable upon said de- Patented J une 28, 1921.

tents, stems formed with Said bars having gage with a drapery pole, and a pair of op;V respectively right and left hand threads, a posed hanger brackets adjustably secured turn-buckle engageable with said threaded upon said vertical elements adapted to supl0` n stems whereby said strips may be drawn to? port between them a Shade roller. i ward each other, arms integrally formed AIn testimony whereof I have allixed my with said vertical elements extending out` signature.
